Lakeside Retreat

About this property

Chudleigh 2.2 miles. Lakeside Retreat is a well-presented lodge at Finlake Holiday Park, Devon, with private parking for one car, enclosed decking, a hot tub, and an open-plan living space. Step inside from the sunny deck and the holiday begins in a bright, sociable space, where vaulted ceilings, large windows and glazed doors draw in the woodland backdrop. The kitchen is arranged for easy self-catering, with an electric oven, gas hob, microwave, coffee maker and dual-zone air fryer, while the dining table gives everyone space to gather over breakfast, board games or supper after a day on the resort. Settle into the sitting area with the Smart TV, or slide outside to the enclosed deck, where rattan seating, outdoor dining furniture and the bubbling hot tub turn slow mornings and starlit evenings into part of the stay.

Three bedrooms offer flexible arrangements for families and friends, with a double bedroom benefitting from an en-suite shower room, alongside two twin rooms and a family bathroom with a bath and overhead shower. The setting makes Lakeside Retreat especially appealing for guests who want plenty to do without straying far. Finlake’s fishing lakes sit close by, while woodland trails, horse riding, tennis, the spa, pools, gym, restaurant and bookable activities put adventure and leisure on the doorstep. In Chudleigh, days can lead towards Canonteign Falls or the countryside around Dartmoor, with Haytor offering a memorable climb and far-reaching moorland views. Newton Abbot brings market-town energy, with indoor market stalls and Stover Country Park for gentler family walks.

For a seaside change of pace, Teignmouth offers a sandy beach, pier, lido and ferry links towards Shaldon. Gather lake days, woodland rambles and Devon coast trips into one holiday at Lakeside Retreat.
